Sometimes hard circumstances take hold of our thoughts and won’t let go. Psalm 107 offers a life-giving antidote like nothing this world can offer.

Whether we are facing the wilderness, bondage, sickness, or a storm, God hears us. We only need to call on Him.

Praying Scriptures back to God will help us change our thinking, claim His promises as truth, and turn our hearts toward Him.

I’ve written this prayer based on the truths in Psalm 107. Read this prayer inspired by Psalm 107 when hard things threaten to hold your thoughts hostage.

A Psalm 107 Scripture Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your Word says in Psalm 107:43 to “ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.” As I think about your loving deeds today, I am thankful for the wonderful things you have done for me.

I know that “in this life we will have trouble.” (John 16:33) But sometimes, it seems like one struggle after another. When difficulties consume my thoughts and I can’t see an end in sight, help me rely on your promises. Bring back to my mind the Truth of Psalm 107, so I can take those negative thoughts captive (2 Cor. 10:5) and replace them with the goodness of your Word.

When I’m faced with problems I can’t solve or tough decisions to make, I know I can call on you and you will answer. Even when I’m wandering aimlessly without any help in sight, you will “deliver me from my distress” and “lead me by a straight way.” (Ps. 107:6-7)

Because of your unfailing love, You have never given up on me. I’ve fought against you and run away from You, but you always pursue me. Again and again, you offer grace and mercy to break the chains of sin and shame in my life. Thank you Lord for bringing me “out of darkness into your wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)

When I cry out to you in pain, you hear me and heal me. And even when the pain lingers, you bring peace to my situation with your glorious presence, a peace that sustains me through the hardest times. That peace also surrounds me when scary things happen and “my courage melts away.” (Ps. 107:26) Thank you for stilling the storms to a whisper and hushing the waves of the sea. (Ps. 107:29)

For all of these things I give thanks to you, Lord! I hand my struggles to you today and praise you for taking care of my needs. I walk in victory knowing your lovingkindness never fails. You are my good and merciful Father.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
